“…We chose two existing projects, Active Pathways [31,32] and Sparse Tangibles [7], and one new project, Tangible mtDNA, to demonstrate how Actibles can be used different application scenarios. All three applications make use of Actibles in combination with an interactive tabletop.…”

“…The project has gone through several iterations. The first version, called Kinesthetic Pathways [32], focused on simulation alone, employing passive tangibles to manipulate parameters in the tabletop simulation (e.g., a dial for changing parameter values on the table) and to display different kinds of output charts (e.g., time-based graphs and error charts).…”

In this thesis, we present a new kind of active tangible call an Actible. Actibles are an open source hardware/software platform for designing and implementing active tangibles for Tangible Embodied Interaction (TEI) applications. Web technologies and a smartwatch core are leveraged for ease of development, and enables the active tangibles to act coupled to a server, or act as their own server. This kind of connectivity enables the use of the Actibles independently or in combination with other devices and displays ubiquitously. We derived an expanded set of input and output interactions based on previous work on active tangibles, including tilting, shaking, neighboring, stacking, on-screen gestures, and integrated LED feedback. We describe the design and technical implementation of these interactions, and demonstrate it's use in a multitude of published example applications.

“…Almost all current tangibles provide visual feedback on an integrated display screen when available [3,13,15,16] or on an external display, such as an interactive wall [8,24] and interactive tabletops [23,29]. Some have also explored lights [11] and other forms of feedback, such as haptic [20][21][22] and auditory [4].…”

We developed a custom tangible that uses LED arrays around the edges as a low-resolution display to provide real-time visual feedback on the current state of the system. We developed a guideline for mapping different types of edge feedback to different tangible interactions. We evaluated its effectiveness in an informal user study where users interacted with a tabletop and tangible system with the edge feedback enabled. Results suggest that edge feedback provides a better understanding of the system.

Creativity's importance to organizations and businesses is now recognized to be a precondition for both design and innovation. One strategy is to introduce new forms of information system that support human creative thinking by their employees. Most successful uses have been in professional disciplines in the creative industries such as design and theatre. This paper reports the design and evaluation of a new information system that was researched and developed to support human creativity in a non-creative industry -health-and-safety in a manufacturing plant.An established risk detection and resolution process in one plant was extended with the new system to support plant employees to think creatively about resolutions to health-and-safety risks.The new system was used in a manufacturing plant for over 3 months. Results revealed that a subset of the risk resolutions generated with the new system were more creative and more complete than risk resolutions generated without the system in a corresponding period. However, the employees needed more time than was available to generate more complete risk resolutions.The evaluation results led to coordinated changes to both the information system and work practices associated with it.
